Abstract

Whereas artificial neural networks (ANN) provide a powerful scheme for evaluation of multiple simultaneous constraints and inferences, it is not that evident how a given problem, i.e. a conceptual structure, can be mapped on a low-level structure within plausible resource requirements. This is also true in optical character recognition.

We can only do what is possible and proceed from there toward what is desirable.
